In both cases, they remain immersed in their session.<\/p>\n<h2>Three rules that stand the test of time<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One atmosphere per space.<\/strong> Reception, treatment rooms, relaxation area: three zones, three worlds, never the same music everywhere.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No vocals in treatment areas.<\/strong> Voice announcements stay in reception and common areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A sound identity per location.<\/strong> A world chosen for the venue withstands time better than alternating on a whim.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Voice announcements, when they are useful<\/h2>\n<p>StarkStream Voice (Beta) generates messages in six voices, several of which are available in five languages: French, English, German, Spanish, and Italian.<br \/>\nAn international establishment can thus broadcast instructions or opening hours in their visitors&rsquo; language.<br \/>\nThe rule doesn&rsquo;t change: these messages belong in the reception and common areas, never inside a treatment room.<\/p>\n<h2>What this atmosphere changes, in practice<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A client who does not speak the local language understands the atmosphere as soon as they walk in.<\/li>\n<li>Transitions between reception, treatment room, and relaxation area remain clear.<\/li>\n<li>The team no longer has to translate an atmosphere or manage a playlist.<\/li>\n<li>The quality of the experience remains the same during high season, with visitors from all walks of life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A language that no one needs to learn<\/h2>\n<p><strong>A playlist is translated.
